The tragedy of this all is the loss of security. We now know that we can be touched here at home. And we need to remember that this was likely a small group of people, not representative of an entire population, culture or religion. I work with people throughout the world and I have received calls from a couple of my colleagues who are in muslim countries (and they are muslim) who are just as outraged. The people who did this need to feel our response in the most intense and dramatic way, but I think that it is important that we remain focused in our response and not lower ourselves to the same mentality that the people who did this were operating at. I think that this is a final act of terrorism in a way. Any country or organization who is seen as supporting this act will be in dire peril. Any country or organization who was borderline will be wise to denounce the act and make serious efforts to make peace. Watching Yasser Arafat on TV was very telling. There was a man who had fear. His lips were quivering visibly. He understands what this has done to his people. Whoever did this just put a gun to their head. And where many palestinians were celebrating in the streets, I believe that their celebration will be empty and short lived. Watching the news, a woman said "I don't see buildings, I see people and I see families who have lost their loved ones".
